The Brooklyn Botanic Garden has been a New York fixture since its founding in 1910. Aside from its numerous and spectacular
gardens and plants, the Brooklyn Botanic Garden engages in research for, teaching about, and improving the environment one
plant at a time.

Brooklyn Bridge Park is an 85-acre world-class sustainable park on Brooklyn's East River waterfront. The park stretches 1.3
miles along the Brooklyn shoreline from Atlantic Avenue to Jay Street, north of the Manhattan Bridge, and offers sweeping
views of New York Harbor and Lower Manhattan. The park's first sections on Pier 1 (entrance at Old Fulton Street) and Pier
6 (entrance at Atlantic Avenue) were opened to the public in 2010. More construction continues on Empire Fulton Ferry and
Pier 5. See the Park website for information on directions, public programs and park amenities.
